No innocent kiss but paid with silver
Betrayed my Saviour that dreadful night
After He had prayed with sweats of blood
Meek as a lamb they led Him away
Judas the traitor's work was done
Now all the forces of darkness
Were ready to attack God's only Son
For a mockery of a trial awaited Him
Then the scourge of a Roman whip
When they bared up His bent back
Tore it to ribbons strip by strip
Can you feel that awful pain
As the lash ripped of His flesh
Bone was bared in the whipping
As the soldiers continued to thresh
Remember how Peter betrayed him
How Pontious Pilate washed his hands
When he give in to the baying crowd
To their hateful “crucify him” demands
A wicked thief they would have released
They did not care for this innocent Man
Crucify Him now, spill His blood
To have Him dead was their wicked plan
A crown of thorns placed on His head
Thick spittals ran down His lovely face
A slow walk up a steep hill side
Calvary's summit was His dying place
How He heard the hostile crowd
Mocking Him along with taunts and jeers
Words of hatred spewed from their lips
With oaths and curses and nasty sneers
Now swings low the hammer blows
Driving through His flesh each iron nail
Now He is lifted high on His cross
While the crowd continued to mock and rail
He saved others let Him come down
But my Saviour stayed in His place
For love held Him there to the wood
As He suffered for the human race
Darkness fell, day was as night
God was punishing now His son
It was for my sins, your sins,He took it all
For nothing wrong had my Saviour done
Imagine that blackness over the earth
Imagine the day turning into the night
So a dying Saviour on the cross
Could bring sinners from darkness into light
What suffering what pain He bore it all
Drunk the wrath from His Father's cup
But God was sastisfied with His sacrifice
When on that cross He was lifted up
Then He cried, It is finished
Wonderful words just these three
The plan of redemption now complete
As Jesus died on that tree
We know that death could not Him hold
For He arose from the depth of the grave
Now He reigns there in the highest
Waiting and so willing for sinners to save
Consider Him sinner consider how He died
Consider the love He has for your soul
Consider all the agony He went through
Consider Him broken just to make you whole
Then consider if you reject this Saviour now
Dare you die in the blackness of your sin
Dare to take a chance but in eternity to be lost
Because to your heart you wouldn't let Him in
